Hey brothers,

Got a simple questions. What kind if business would you invest in if you were single with an avg. income but were living at home with parents after college with no expenses? I am currently saving a decent amount, and not sure what I should invest in.

I'm planning on creating a big brand website, but just wanted to hear ideas or suggestions. I am very interested in creating my own product, but no ideas as of right now.

What would you do if you were in my position? I would love to generate a side income before I moved out! Also be nice to travel.

Thanks guys!

Starting an online business can be a very small investment.

Continue working your regular job and save like crazy.

Develop an idea and start the online business.

Once the business is self-sufficient double your regular job income, then you have some real options.

Would you recommend a content based website? Or an eccomerce website? Not much overhead with onine biz, thats why i like it.

I'm not familiar with e-commerce sites besides the basics, but I would look at which one renders the best profits.

Look at your passions as well. If you have a site that moves a product that you're passionate about, you'll be more likely to put in the time building it.

Lastly, there's nothing to stop you from having multiple sites.

Fair warning - there is a lot of info overload, misinformation, scam artists, and dead ends for amateurs learning about internet marketing.

Instead of burning up your hours in a place like the Warrior Forum, I recommend you spend some time with the podcasts at SmartPassiveIncome.com. The guy seems to be a genuine marketer who has the best intentions for his audience. Really newb-friendly too.

Spend some time listening to those and you'll get a better idea of where you should be focusing your efforts, what's possible, etc.

Another good one I trust and recommend is SocialBuzz.com. But I think your best bet is finding one teacher worth listening to and read/listen to/watch all his stuff. Move on after you outgrow him.

1. Learn coding or internet marketing
2. Volunteer, intern or work for little pay for another ecommerce business that sells physical goods
3. Start your own using something imported, ecommerce is like the new age export/import tea merchants of the 1800s
4. Once you figure it out once, pick a country, learn it and get enough knowledge to be able to export something directly from the source.

This site is pretty good. Take a listen to their podcasts, most of them live in SE asia as internet marketers already.

Shit. I meant SocialTriggers.com. Don't know anything about that other domain.

Hope I didn't lead anyone astray there....
